Chapter 1771: Chapter 1326: Do I Have That Responsibility?_2

Mrs. Xu asked, "You got divorced the last time you came back?"

"Even earlier than that."

Xu Chunxia replied irritably.

Just then, Kang Li appeared outside the Xu family’s main hall, along with Min Rui, Ming Han, and Kang Yilin. The three of them were each holding Bun, Tangyuan, and Guoguo.

"Yuhang little brother!"

Guoguo patted Ming Han’s arm as he held her, and Ming Han understood—he crouched down and set her on the ground.

Bun and Tangyuan also climbed down from Min Rui and Kang Yilin’s arms. The three crossed the threshold, walking together toward Hu Yuhang.

"Why are you crying?"

Tangyuan asked Xiaoyu.

"Don’t cry, the wind will hurt your face."

Bun took out his little handkerchief and handed it to Xiaoyu: "Wipe it."

"...Brother Bun, Brother Tangyuan, Sister Guoguo!"

He turned to look at Bun, Tangyuan, and Guoguo for a moment. Xiaoyu blinked, snapped out of it, and a smile appeared through his tears. He called out to the three in his childlike voice, then sniffled and said, "Yuhang misses grandpa and grandma, misses daddy!"

"Kang Libao, what are you doing at my house?"

Xu Chunxia sensed something was off. She glanced at the three kids, then asked Kang Li, "How did your children meet my son?"

A bad feeling hit her hard; Xu Chunxia watched Kang Li with full-on suspicion.

"You said that kid is your son?"

When talking to Old Master Xi over the phone, Kang Li hadn’t heard which mother Hu Yuhang had, and back when Xu Chunxia married into the Hu Family through Fang Su, that was something Kang Li didn’t know. So she was genuinely surprised by Xu Chunxia’s words.

"That’s right, he’s my son. I carried him for ten months before giving birth."

Xu Chunxia looked at Xiaoyu, but her eyes held not a hint of motherly tenderness or affection.

But for some reason, Kang Li believed Xu Chunxia’s story and didn’t think she was lying.

Because in her view, Xu Chunxia had no reason to lie.

Why?

If she wanted to verify whether the other was lying, it wouldn’t be hard for her.

Xu Chunxia would’ve thought of this, too.

"Even if the kid is yours, you took him from his family using improper means. That’s breaking the law—are you aware of that?"

Kang Li’s gaze was clear and sharp. She stared at Xu Chunxia and said calmly, "I bet you’re surprised that I know you used illegal means to bring that child back to your hometown, right?"

Xu Chunxia’s expression turned ugly. "You..."

"No need for all this you-me nonsense. Let me tell you—there’s someone I know who lives in the family apartment where that child’s family is, and my kids have played at my friend’s home more than once."

Kang Li made herself perfectly clear: she was letting Xu Chunxia know that she showed up at the Xu family because the three kids recognized Xiaoyu as their playmate, which led to the scene Xu Chunxia was witnessing now.

—She showed up with the kids out of nowhere.

"You... did you call North City?"

Xu Chunxia barked at Kang Li.

"So what if I did?"

Kang Li’s attractive brows arched just a bit. "My kids said they saw their friend at the entrance to our compound. As a mother, of course I found it strange—normally, their friend wouldn’t show up in our village, but now he’s here. Don’t you think I’d be suspicious?"

Xu Chunxia: "So what if he’s here? I’m his mother—I took him to his grandma’s to play for a while. What’s wrong with that?"

Hearing this, Kang Li let out a mocking laugh. "I’ve spelled it out for you, but you’re still dodging the issue. Xu Chunxia, are you sure you’ve got a brain?"

"Kang Libao, who the hell are you insulting?"

Xu Chunxia’s eyes blazed with resentment.

"I’d never stoop to insulting anyone. If someone needs to be insulted, it’s because she brought it on herself!"

As Kang Li spoke, she shot a look to Min Rui, Kang Yilin, and Ming Han. The three of them instantly strode into the Xu family’s hall and picked up the trio of kids.

"Brother Bun, Brother Tangyuan, Sister Guoguo!"

Xiaoyu looked like he was about to start crying again.

Kang Li walked into the main hall of the Xu family.

"Kang Libao! Don’t touch my son!"

Seeing Kang Li stand in front of Xiaoyu, Xu Chunxia hurried forward, trying to grab him, but Kang Li got to Xiaoyu first, scooping him up. Xu Chunxia ended up with nothing.

None of the Xu family helped Xu Chunxia; more accurately, from the moment Kang Li showed up, they decided to sit on their hands, unwilling to let Xu Chunxia’s trouble bring danger to their doorstep.

You could say this family took selfishness to the extreme.

"Kang Libao, put my son down!"

Xu Chunxia tried to snatch Xiaoyu back.

But Kang Li ignored her, instead turning to the Xu family: "If you don’t want to be dragged into this as accomplices, Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, you’d better keep an eye on her. Otherwise, when this kid’s family brings the police and doesn’t find Xu Chunxia, you all will definitely get hauled in for questioning."

The Xu family turned pale with fear at Kang Li’s words.

Everyone turned their gaze to Xu Chunxia.

"Kang Libao, who are you trying to scare? I’m taking my own son back home—how is that against the law?"

Xu Chunxia said it, but she had zero confidence.

"Without the family’s consent, sneaking this kid away is a crime. And to spell it out, what you did is no different from human trafficking. Don’t blame it on you being the kid’s mother—even if you are, you and his family definitely had some kind of falling out, so much so that you can’t even openly see your own son."
